He used to -- as I recall from the days when I read interviews with the Crucifucks and stuff like that -- run a baseball card store, which always struck me as a strangely innocent profession for the singer of the Crucifucks.
He still does.

This is a pretty spot on review of his latest solo act, complete with a comment from me!

Jesus Christ, Doc Dart. I haven't heard of/thought about him in ages. One credit to the guy -- he was one of the few to acknowledge that the punk world wasn't necessarily the real world, and to try to change things (local politics, running for office) on the non-punk side of things.

I'm pretty sure he knew. Though that doesn't mean we shouldn't make the interview "WHY IS THIS GUY STIRRING UP TROUBLE?".

I was implying that he must have known what he was in for. the baseball thing and the bear cub thing were simply storefront windows that show us what happens in the department store of these United States.

The knock on patriotism is just what made it into the article as a picture. I agree that we owe a whole lot of the international community reparations. It's pretty simple that 9/11 did not reduce the standard of living to a point that illicited such a response, many other countries have faced far worse terrorism (which is about TERROR not a body count) and have shown far more restraint. The real loss from 9/11 has been the beuacracy and political posturing in rebuilding the towers. We are so wrong it can only be expressed with clench fists and insane signs in your yard.


AArdvark: People in the Bronx, and most baseball fans at large really can't fairly be considered civilized. Do we really need to constantly apply that to all Americans? I should throw a rock through every window of every house that has a little fucking jesus in front, but I don't.

The government is doing a lot of bad things. Is it too much for this guy to express something accurate about it rather than a knock on patriotism?

Who's frigging patriotic any more? (Besides the South.)

The northern half of the US wants to love you, Mr. 26. Why can't you spend a little more effort so we can?

Now exactly, what is this guy's agenda? He knew stuff like that was going to happen if he took the stance he is taking.

If I was a BoSox fan I, for one, would not wear a Boston jersey in the Bronx, sure it's a freedom, but then so is intentionally getting between a bear and it's cub. The results are similar. They guy seems to have diminished faculties of reasoning if he is schocked by the response of his statements. This reminds me of the Jane Fonda thing during the Vietnam war.


OK, now that I read the whole article, I will say the guy is a high functioning wacko.

It didn’t take long for Doc Corbin Dart to publicly express his ideas following the Sept. 11 attacks. Since that day he’s posted signs on the front of his Okemos house such as "U.S. terror in Iraq makes Sept. 11th a tiny mirror image," and "U.S. Troops terrorize as cowards from the skies. They should be in body bags."
The reaction has been just as quick. He’s faced everything from rocks thrown at his window to visits from the State Police, who, he said, walked around the perimeter of his property taking pictures.
All along, Dart said he has also received menacing phone calls.
"The threats at first were rather veiled, but starting last Wednesday or maybe the week before that, the veils came off. They’ve been completely death threats," her said.
One of the signs on Dart’s house lists a phone number, which is how he’s received most of his threats. Tapes recorded on his answering machine contain messages such as:
"I’ll brace myself for a long, long time…but in the end I’m going to kill all of you…all of you dead."
"I will kill you if I get the chance."
Dart said that because of his opposition to the actions of the United States in Afghanistan, many people assume he’s Arabic. One caller left the message: "Here’s an idea—how about you camel jockeys go back to your goddamn country, leave us alone and pray to your fake God."

One of the many messages plastered on the outside walls of Dart's residence.

"Everything that I’m doing has been under the heading of the Animal Liberation Front, because human beings are animals and they won’t admit it," Dart said.(more)
This guy is my personal hero. He headed The Crucifucks and now is doing a solo act under the name '26'. He released a CD (song) and is doing a new one next year complete with a tour. Also, he probably has the best sign outside his house ever.
